Admin. Review Scores Outstanding Rating

The Lab's 1999 Administrative Peer Review was held February 23-25; and for the first time, the Administrative Division received an overall rating of Outstanding.

"It was a major effort," said Administration Division Associate Director Roy Whitney, "and we are delighted with the results." The Administrative Peer Review is a "key indicator" for SURA's performance-based management contract with the Department of Energy.

During the three-day session, the panel heard from SURA President Jerry Draayer, DOE Acting Site Office Manager Jerry Conley, Lab Director Hermann Grunder, all departments within the Administration Division and key staff from across the Lab. Review panel members included representatives from the DOE, associate directors from other research laboratories, the user community, and business.




Security Survey Takes Place March 16-18

The Lab is going through a Safeguard and Security Survey March 16-18. Two evaluators will be on site conducting the survey, says Tom Briggs, Structural Maintenance and Services section manager.

They will review the Lab's emergency and site security plans, check security procedures around the Lab, and meet with DOE Site Office staff. The survey takes place every two years.
